He used the analogy of abortion laws in America, which is a divisive topic in the country already, in relation to school shootings by proposing a simple name change.

(7,011 posts)against abortion for themselves out of reverence for the life growing inside them. This tweet ridicules that ethos, which in and of itself is a positive affirmation. It conflates that personal choice with the hypocrisy of Republican legislative disregard to the carnage.
